Nissan NV Check Engine Light Air Valve Issue

My 2017 Nissan NV (gasoline) has an intermittent check engine light at 103984 km. I suspect a defective hose connection from the air pump to the valve. Could this be a vacuum leak affecting manifold pressure, potentially causing engine stalling?

I also own a NV, though not the same year. I had a similar problem with the check engine light. Was the check engine light the only thing you experienced, or were there other symptoms? Have you observed any changes in the engine's performance, such as rough idling or diminished acceleration?

The check engine light is currently the only discernible symptom. I have not detected any noticeable changes in the engine's performance, such as rough idling or diminished acceleration. Could you please elaborate on the specifics of the air supply issue you encountered, if you recall?

Yes, the symptoms sound very similar to what I experienced. The mechanic said the hose connecting the air pump to the valve had a crack, causing a vacuum leak. Since you're not experienced like me, I would strongly suggest taking it to a qualified workshop. They'll be able to diagnose the problem accurately and carry out the necessary repairs safely.

I appreciate your advice and confirmation of a potential correlation between our experiences. I followed your recommendation and took the vehicle to a certified mechanic. The diagnostic assessment confirmed a defective hose connection from the pump to the valve, resulting in a vacuum leak. The hose was subsequently replaced at a cost of 175€.
